Re[2]: [bc-gnso] Draft BC position Regsitry Registrar Separation

[Michael Castello <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Mike,

I for one have NOT grown tired of his nor anyone else's email. I have been on 
boards with triple the amount of email to read through and a lot more strained 
relations. I think everyone is open to do as they please but once dialog stops 
we stop moving forward and fracture as a group.

MR> But when Alexa Raad of PIR openly says the BC issued a strong "statement of

MR> (when the BC had no position) there is of course no investigation. Why are
MR> the BC officers not investigating who made this "strong statement of
MR> concern" on behalf of the BC? Why are the BC officers not demanding that
MR> Alexa Raad and PIR retract the false statement that the BC had any position
MR> back in June?

MR> This seems to me to be an exercise in historical revisionism taking place at

MR> they can claim "Oh, of course the BC *always* had a position." (wink, wink)

MR> So, to repeat:

MR> 1) The officers should investigate who made the "strong statement of
MR> concern" on behalf of the BC, and discipline them accordingly.
MR> 2) Contact Alexa Raad / PIR to demand that they immediately retract the
MR> false statement that the BC had any position on the topic.
